Capital XTRA's Music Potential

2018 sees Capital XTRA’s Music Potential coming to an end after 6 incredible years of championing the freshest talent and breaking down barriers to the creative industries for young people across the UK.

What Is Music Potential?

Part of The Big Music Project and funded by Big Lottery Fund since 2016, Music Potential has inspired young people aged 18-25 not in employment, education or training, to learn skills, develop talent and enhance their employability through the hook of music. Working with the best music industry professionals, it has offered unique opportunities through creative workshops, work experience, one-to-one mentoring and performance opportunities, and has supported young people to gain a nationally-recognised qualification.

Led by Global, the programme has run across the UK in London, Birmingham, Belfast, Manchester, Cardiff and Glasgow.
